Three superb lakes in beautiful surroundings and each lake unique, offering something for every angler.

The two “newest” lakes – Withy and Bridge Pools – were established with the help of a substantial Lottery Grant and, thanks to the magnificent efforts of a hard-core of club members – they both have a natural appearance and have a reputation for some of the best fishing in the area. Over 2000 trees were planted on the slopes overlooking the lakes adding to the overall effect.

The car park adjoins the lakes and there is easy access to all 115 well spaced and comfortable swims on the fishery.
